Tag Archive | sweet and sour meatballs recipe

This is the recipe I told you about in the Sweet Sesame Chicken post that was inspired by that recipe. I hope that made sense. I think I am getting better at combining flavors on my own. It always feels great when a recipe I made up myself turns out delicious. Maybe one day, I will have it mastered and can make complicated dishes completely from my own imagination. Anyway, I have been posting quite a bit of chicken recipes so I thought I would take a moment and give beef a chance to shine. It was becoming jealous and feeling left out. I am sure though that if you prefer poultry, that this recipe could be used for that instead…just don’t tell the beef.

The noodles I used to serve the meatballs over were those curly ones (rotelle). I think more like a fettuccine noodle or farfalle noodle would have been better though. A flatter noodle of any name, really. The only ones I had on hand were those curly ones (rotelle), elbows, and spaghetti. But, whichever you prefer is all that matters!

This recipe was simmered in the crockpot but could easily be done on the stove. You choose! I love using the crockpot on the warmer days because then I don’t heat up the house but I still get a delicious, healthy meal. Plus, you don’t have to pay as close attention to it as you would a stove.

This looks like a lot of ingredients and looks like it will take a long time but it’s pretty quick to prepare. I just try to break every step down so the recipe is easily followed and hopefully to have no doubts about what to do!

After meatballs have had their 10 minutes in the oven, add them to the crockpot along with a little grease and sludge (that’s what I call that meat stuff on the pan that came off the meatballs. Doing this adds more flavor…you don’t want a lot, just a little will do) Stir
